amendment to the by-laws as follows:
The

Section 4 to ARTICLE VI. HANDICAPS:
Section
4.
Member handicap increases will be limited to two strokes
during the MGA handicap off-season period from late October to early
April. USGA handicaps
increasing by more than 2 strokes will be reduced to a 2 stroke
increase for all Fox Hollow Men’s Club events.
This limit will be removed at the time the member handicap
has been reduced to or below the 2 stroke increase or the member has
posted 5 additional scores at Fox Hollow Golf Course under the new
MGA handicap season.
This
proposed amendment will be voted on by all members.

will have a meeting of president, treasurer and league chairmen to
develop a platform for monthly reports to league chairmen and
reconciliation of league payouts and balances.
New
Member Referral Drawing: Through

referral will provide the member with a drawing chance at a $500
clubhouse chit. The

schedules: The
league schedules for 2008 were reviewed and approved.
Handicap
Issues: Tom
will talk to Mike about comparing the membership handicaps from the

changes/issues that handicap committee may need to address.
Social
Events/Activities: The
board agreed to continue the issuance of drink chits at the 2008
club championship, and will include this in the budget.

in 2008… tentatively
scheduled to be a Saturday afternoon;
including a cookout; and possibly open to non-members.
